I find that funny and yet I am using a straight razor. There is certain disconnect there.

So many bad memories of lost hours when the phone would glitch after 10 hours of downloading.

Not just a glitch would boot you off, anytime someone picked up the phone! I grew up in a house with 8 people, how often do you think I got kicked off the internet in the middle of something?!

My high school had a teletype for interacting by modem with a computer in LaCrosse Wisconsin. I would usually spend more than half of the hour of the independent study "class" dialing the phone hoping to get connected. For that reason, manually doing punch cards actually was a faster way to get programming done. Anybody need anything programmed in Basic or Fortran IV?

Never heard that sound. By the time I finally broke down and got a PC we were on high speed here. Sometimes being a late adopter isn't so bad. Originally Posted by 10Pups
